An Original WW2 German War Merit Cross With Swords..

In alloy, with date 1939 to reverse, and with relief Swastika to front. A medal for bravery when in military service but not necessarily when facing the enemy. For example, awarded for rescuing wounded in minefields, bomb disposal or bravery during aerial bombardment. Curiously the bravery required to achieve this medal could be greater than was required to receive the traditional combat bravery medal, the Iron Cross, as the recipient would have had little or no combat adrenaline rush to aid his heroic act. In superb condition with original ribbon of issue. Picture in the gallery of Gotlob Berger wearing his Knights Cross War Merit Cross With Swords
